ARTWORKS AS MUSEUMS: ARTISTS AS CURATORS
Journal Title: Online Journal of Art and Design - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Given that public display is at the core of the visual arts, this research simultaneously explores the methods of the field itself while publicly sharing those results. It is both reflexive and reflective. By creating artwork that represent themselves as self-contained museums, many artists have adopted the role of curator as a means of subverting the established power hierarchy and altering the artwork’s relationship with its audience. The examination of specific artworks along with relevant display conventions, both historic and contemporary, establishes a context and continuity for this format of work. Since all of these works rely upon a manipulation of established display conventions, examination of the politics and persuasive power of display is directly relevant. Primary research conducted at a range of institutions provides the foundation for the more specific discussion of artworks presenting themselves as museums.
